Description: | Cast lead weight, circular in plan and flat in profile with an incuse or concave internal area. The wieght may have originally been stamped internally, but it is too scored now to be sure. The weight of 221.14 grams equates to 7.8 ounces, so this may have originally been used for 8 ounces.
Egan (2001) illustrates a similar example on page 312, Fig.232, No.981, which is dated to the 13th century.
Bailey (1993) illustrates similar examples of home-made lead weights used by traders on page 29, and a free-standing weight with a raised edge on page 33, No.43. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
